No, it's not ok.  And no one has a greater duty to be nice than anyone 
else.  But Fleur's greatest sin is being tactless and a little arrogant. 
As far as we can see, she doesn't make personal judgements against 
anyone in the family, the way they have all done with her.  Hermione and 
Ginny at least, know there is more to Fleur, or they should after the 
Tri-Wizard tournament.  They don't even have nasty nicknames for Malfoy, 
someone they have very personal, specific reasons for hating.

Maybe it wouldn't have bothered me so badly if I hadn't been so 
irritated by the behavior both of Ginny and of Hermione through the 
entire book.  Both of them seemed to be suffering from dreadful 
superiority complexes and their behavior towards Fleur was just another 
example of it.
